"Would you like a bowl of fresh fish soup?" When he didn't get a reply, Liang Chuan asked Yi Niang to fill a bowl of milky white fish soup with a piece of fish in the bowl.
Zhao Xiaopin saw Yi Niang bringing the fish over quickly and felt a little embarrassed. He didn't accept it or didn't accept it. "My boss, I've already had dinner..."
"Let's have some soup after dinner!" Liang Chuan said with a smile.
"Go on, be careful! It's hot! I treat this place as my own home. How can I be so polite to your third brother and third sister-in-law?" Yi Niang scolded, with a smile on her face. Zhao Xiaopin could only accept the fish soup. come over.
Liang Chuan glanced at Yi Niang with satisfaction. She was a girl who had been born in poverty since she was a child. She had never disliked the poor and loved the rich. Anyone she took home was someone she recognized very much. Of course, she had to give her enough Save the guest’s face.
"Eat the food in the bowl first and then we can talk."
Zhao Xiaopin had no choice but to pick up the soup bowl and wanted to go outside and drink the soup quietly by himself. Because Liang Chuan hadn't eaten anything, it would be too rude to slurp fish soup in front of him, even though no one taught him how to behave. It makes sense, but he can’t understand it!
As soon as he stood up, Liang Chuan called him back. "What are you doing, just sitting here eating in the courtyard, eating a bowl of soup and then telling the world if you can't? Could it be that you want to go out and pour the soup while we are not paying attention?"
Zhao Xiaopin smiled bitterly. After his father left, he had never tasted such delicious fish soup again. It was too late to cherish it, and it would fall down. No one would give him such delicious food except his mother.
"My boss is joking."
Liang Chuan watched him finish the fish soup in one gulp, and was about to ask Liang Chuan to come back and clean up the dishes, but Zhao Xiaopin walked into the room holding the bowl and returned it to Yi Niang.
"It's rare for Xiao Pin to see you come to my place at night." Liang Chuan saw Xiao Pin's expression of hesitant to speak and knew that he was going to the Three Treasures Palace for nothing, so he spoke first.
"My boss, the new stove in your new house today, was it your work?" Zhao Xiaopin knew that his uncle and the four master chefs would be back after dinner, and he didn't want to know too much about it. To make a long story short , just get straight to the point.
"Are you talking about the new stove in the kitchen? Yes, I suggested it to Lao Zhao and the others, and then they built it. Strictly speaking, I was just talking about it." This guy came to talk about the stove. Is he interested in this stove?
Zhao Xiaopin's heartbeat increased, and he directly explained the purpose of his visit to Liang Chuan: "Master, can you teach me this craft? If this new stove can be popularized, the common people's family can save a lot of firewood money a year!"
When Liang Chuan heard Zhao Xiaopin's idea, he slapped his thigh, "Yeah, why didn't I think of this? You woke me up when you said it! This is a good way to make money, and only you can do it. If it were me, I could do it but I wouldn’t have the skills, haha!”
Zhao Xiaopin said: "So today, with my uncle's consent, I want to come to my employer to discuss if there are any ideas in this regard. Thousands of households, building a new stove each year will also be an extremely considerable income."
"Old Zhao, does he agree with you to do this?" Liang Chuan knew the rules of some industries, and joining another industry would be bullying his master and destroying his ancestors, which was looked down upon by his peers.
"Uncle agreed." Zhao Xiaopin looked directly at Liang Chuan without any hesitation or uncertainty.
"Well!"
Liang Chuan didn't hide it, and directly explained all the key points of this firewood stove to Zhao Xiaopin. I compared several improvements in the stove with the current old-fashioned stoves. I also highlighted several small details that are not easy to find when building the stove, and presented this technology without reservation. Grant.
Zhao Xiaopin had contact with Liang Chuan once in Xinghua. From then on, several masters directly discussed with Liang Chuan various reasons for building a house. That time in Xinghua, he wanted to fool Liang Chuan, but Liang Chuan saw through it all at once and slapped Liang Chuan several times. Liang Chuan left a deep impression on him. He always thought that Liang Chuan was a generous but very smart person.
Dealing with smart people is generally not easy.
But he didn't expect that this skill would be so simple. Liang Chuan almost told him the dimensions of the stove without reservation. Before cooking the dinner, Zhao Xiaopin touched all the places on the stove, and Liang Chuan almost agreed with what he said. From this, he was more convinced that Liang Chuan was not lying, but sincerely passed on this skill to him.
"You can go and take a look at the stove in the new house. The finished product will probably look like that. Plus what I told you tonight, it's basically like this." Liang Chuan said.
"Then... boss, how much do you want to sell this craft for?" Zhao Xiaopin asked timidly. He was afraid that Liang Chuan would open his mouth and he couldn't afford the big price.
Liang Chuan chuckled and said meaningfully: "I don't charge money, so you can carry forward this craft. I should thank you for being able to use your hands to spread this craft and benefit the people."
This greatly shocked Zhao Xiaopin. He had heard someone in the village spreading rumors about Dong Jia's unparalleled deeds of benevolence and righteousness. Thinking about those slaps, he thought it was a rumor. When Liang Chuan's words came out, he really agreed.
"My boss, this is a profitable craft, and I can't learn your craft in vain. I plan to go out and make stoves. After I make money, I will share the accounts with you, boss. What do you think?" Zhao Xiaopin did not dare to be alone. It is Liang Chuan who deserves to enjoy this craft.
Liang Chuan also laughed, but couldn't resist him, so he just smiled.
"If my boss doesn't say anything, I'll take it as his consent. It's getting late, so I won't disturb my boss' rest." After saying that, Zhao Xiaopin saluted Liang Chuan and left the courtyard respectfully.
Zhao Xiaopin did not say goodbye to all the masters on the same day. After finishing the big house in Liang Chuan, each apprentice would get a lot of money. Only then did he have the capital to start his own business, and he was not in a hurry at this moment. If you leave now, then your hard work for several months will be in vain.
Liang Chuan really didn't expect that this small stove would also be a business opportunity in this era, and it was a big business opportunity. I am not familiar with this industry and cannot see the future of this stove, but Zhao Xiaopin is professional and can see the ropes at a glance. If Liang Chuan was allowed to develop this business opportunity by himself, Liang Chuan would also hire a professional craftsman to join the partnership. He didn't have a professional craftsman on hand, so it would be best for him to give it to Zhao Xiaopin.
As for how much he can divide into, Liang Chuan just hesitates. Even if Zhao Xiaopin doesn't give him a share, it's not too much. Because he has seen the new stove, it is easy for him to imitate it. He is not the only one, all four masters have seen it. , they will also spread this craft in the future. In this case, why not be beautiful in adulthood.
Making the chain pot in the back room was not so fast. In the next few days, several of their masters moved the materials into the back room every day, then locked the back room tightly, and a few of them tinkered with the chain pot inside. They ordered all the young apprentices not to enter the back room without Liang Chuan's permission, not even to look at it. After they finished, they locked the door.
After dinner, He Baozheng came over to chat with Liang Chuan. When he went to Fengshan Timber Store to buy sawdust today, he got the news that Liang Chuan was going to help Xianshui Chihelian build artificial waterwheels for three villages! This made He Baozheng so angry. The people from the three villages almost killed Liang Chuan twice when they tried to fight with each other. They also beat him half to death. They even helped them build a water tanker without avenging this grudge!
Liang Chuan took a jar of rice wine, and each of them poured a small bowl. The two of them sat in the yard blowing the cool night breeze, chatting and drinking.
He Baozheng also thought that Liang Chuan had his own plans, so he did this. But after asking, Liang Chuan turned out to be kind enough to help people in three villages build water trucks by providing free technical support.
"Those people are just a bunch of wolves that cannot be fed by others. If you help them like this, not only will they not be grateful to you later, but they will also come to you for trouble. Believe it or not!" He Baozheng said sincerely.
Liang Chuan raised his head and glanced at the sky. The night sky was as clear as water, and the stars and rivers in the sky were as charming as jade plates and pearls. He lamented that in ancient times, people took such charming scenes for granted, and few people paid attention to such beautiful scenery.
"Old He, let me tell you, if they were a pack of wolves, would you believe it? They couldn't build this waterwheel!" Liang Chuan said confidently.
He Baozheng was stunned for a moment and asked urgently: "What did you hear?"
Liang Chuan said with a smile: "I haven't heard anything, but according to my expectation, at most one waterwheel will be built, and three villages will use it in turn. If they are all generous people, then there will be no problem. The three families will be honest and honest with each other. I want to understand that placing the waterwheel in a place that is most beneficial to the world. But if they are all selfish, not to mention the life-and-death struggle to place the waterwheel, even the materials and cost of the waterwheel are If you can't talk to me, I will definitely fight to the death!"
"How do you say this?" He Baozheng didn't understand.
"There are people in the three villages who farm, and some don't. Some families have more acres, and some have less. That's the problem. How do we divide the money for building a watershed? Why does my family only have five acres of land, while others have less?" Your farm has ten acres and I have to pay the same amount as you. Some people will say that my farm will not be planted this year, so why should we have to pay? We can’t argue about petty profits, and the village is too poor to help the villagers bear this. Expenditure, do you think this can still be built?" Liang Chuan said thiefly.
He Baozheng didn't think so much at all. He was just jealous of Liangchuan and a good person, and agreed to help them build a water tanker. However, Liangchuan saw things more than just looking at the surface. He saw the humanity behind it, the folk customs of the three villages.
When Liang Chuan said this, he also figured it out. According to this situation, the waterwheel can only be built if there is a ghost.
"Come on, Saburo, don't talk about these spoiling things, let's have a drink!"
"drink!"
"Sanlang, let me ask you something."
"Um."
"Xiao Chai, can I help you wash your feet?"
